Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 26 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,051 rental units — nine social or Toronto Community Housing.

Two buildings of the 26 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 30, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,136 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 966 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,097 of 2,328). Evening rush dominates here: 1,355 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 1,251 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Ossington Ave between Humbert St and Argyle St, 268 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,400 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ossington Ave · Humbert St – Argyle St · 268 m | Apr 2024 · 3 days | 8,389 | 30 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 km/h |
| Queen St W · Fennings St – Dovercourt Rd · 269 m | Nov 2019 · 4 days | 6,771 | — | — | — |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2024, with 39 collisions; 2025 recorded 20. 17 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 43 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 29, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
16 thefts from vehicles and 15 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 3.6 a year before that. 63% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 16 | 3 | 0 | street/outdoor (10), other (4) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 6, 2025. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see West Queen West.
